Although modes of occurrence can be determined with a variety of techniques, electron microscopy allows documentation and quantification of trace elements in mineral phases. In these studies, the authors have used scanning electron and electron-beam microscopy to analyze pyrite grains in coal samples that contain high arsenic and to determine its mode of occurrence. Information obtained from these studies may prove valuable in predicting and modeling the fate of arsenic in coal utilization.
